Udemy – Watercolor Ballerina with Butterflies

In this class you’ll paint a dynamic watercolor ballerina surrounded by butterflies — from blank paper to finished artwork. You’ll learn how to combine ink linework with expressive watercolor washes, control glazing layers for depth, and confidently work with blue and orange as complementary colors without falling into the muddy color trap that stops most intermediate painters. This isn’t a copy-this-exactly class. The techniques you’ll build here — inking, glazing, color mixing — are transferable to any subject you paint next.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

• How to use ink linework as a structural foundation for watercolor
• Glazing technique to build depth and luminosity in layers
• How to mix and balance blue and orange without creating muddy colors
• How to paint loose, expressive fabric washes (the tutu effect)
• How to integrate fine detail and loose areas in the same painting
